“Come to Me, . . . and I Will Refresh You” Mt11;28 What did the Teacher mean by his 'yoke is kindly and his load is light'?

how do you fuckin sleep at night?

youtube - MATTHEW 11 KJV SCOURBY

i hope she accuses them of rape.

That's nice that there are Jehovah's Witnesses on this website trying to spread JW dogma.

But, the scripture you quote is a contradiction of Jesus' own words.

On the one hand he says follow me and I will refresh you, and on another occasion he says " who ever does not pick up his cross ( or torture stake as JW's translate it) and continually follow me is not worthy of me.

The scripture you quote is a false invitation of refreshment, used by JW's to invite others into their fold where Jesus said on another occasion those false prophets are in sheeps clothing, but are ravenous wolves.

That is what the Jehovah's Witness deception is, a veneer of something good, but is actually, very bad.

Stop following false prophets and encouraging others to do the same!

a logn list of peopel are goign to hate james when this is over. if they dont alreay

3. What questions will we answer?

3 Notice that the woman went to Jesus. She took the initiative. The same is true today—we must make the effort to “come to” Jesus. At present, Jesus will not miraculously cure the physical sicknesses of those who “come to” him. But he still extends the invitation: “Come to me, . . . and I will refresh you.” In this article, we will answer five questions: How can we “come to” Jesus? What did Jesus mean when he said: “Take my yoke upon you”? What can we learn from Jesus? Why is the work that he has given us to do refreshing? And how can we continue to find refreshment under Jesus’ yoke?

That's nice you want to bring context into the subject when all JW's do is take scriptures out of context.

Taking scriptures out of context, I can tell you to go kill yourself. Doesn't mean that what you preach is true.

op isnt a christian. hes a satanist. and a really dumb one at that.

That's true.

Are you saying Jesus is schizophrenic?

No, I am saying you are.

'These things I command you, that you love one another. 18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you. 20 Keep in mind the word I said to you: A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have observed my word, they will also observe yours. But they will do all these things against you on account of my name, because they do not know the One who sent me.' Jo15:17

Typical Jehovah's Witness response, typical JW scriptue.

I used to preach these scriptures and dogmas to others. You can't tell me anything new about your cult beliefs.

But, here is my response: You all (JWs) are a bunch of stupid idiots that believe in stupid idiocy.

It's not because you are a follower of Jesus, it because you are follower of a long known deception cult, that doesn't allow you to think for yourself.

You are told what to believe, what not to believe, what to do, what not to do, who to associate with, who not to associate with, cannot celebrate holidays, birthdays, salute the flag in schools, etc... which all causes psychological trauma and damage to a child growing up.

And I speak from experience.

Therefore, you should listen to my experience and not the narrow dogmatic view of the JWs.

You must break free from the fog of lies of the JWs.

If one is to be truly wise, one must embrace a larger view of the force and not just the narrow dogmatic view of the JWs.

Typical response when the thousand year reign of Christ is "dogma".

Declared the Son of God: “Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.”—Matt. 7:13, 14.

“COME TO ME”

4-5. What are some ways that we can “come to” Jesus?

4 One way to “come to” Jesus is by learning as much as we can about the things he said and did. (Luke 1:1-4) Nobody else can do this for us—we must study these accounts for ourselves. We also “come to” Jesus by making the decision to get baptized and become a disciple of Christ.

Revelation 3:20
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

John 14:3,18
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

Please explain this.

5 Another way to “come to” Jesus is by going to the congregation elders if we need help. Jesus uses these “gifts in men” to care for his sheep. (Eph. 4:7, 8, 11; John 21:16; 1 Pet. 5:1-3) We must take the initiative to ask for their help. We cannot expect the elders to read our minds and know what we need. Consider what a brother named Julian says: “I had to leave my Bethel assignment for health reasons, and one of my friends recommended that I request a shepherding call. At first, I did not think I needed it. But later I asked for help, and that shepherding visit turned out to be one of the best gifts I have ever received.” Loyal elders, such as the two who visited Julian, can help us to know “the mind of Christ,” that is, to understand and imitate his thinking and attitude. (1 Cor. 2:16; 1 Pet. 2:21) This really is one of the best gifts they can give us.

Sounds like he was messianic nutjob who spewed trite cliques that were sucked up like candy by the sheeple.

Those to who this does not concern need not apply.
Beloved ones, this is now the second letter I am writing you in which, as in my first one, I am stirring up your clear thinking faculties by way of a reminder, 2that you should remember the sayings previously spoken by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles. 3First of all know this, that in the last days ridiculers will come with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4and saying: “Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death, all things are continuing exactly as they were from creation’s beginning.”
5For they deliberately ignore this fact, that long ago there were heavens and an earth standing firmly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6 and that by those means the world of that time suffered destruction when it was flooded with water. 7But by the same word the heavens and the earth that now exist are reserved for fire and are being kept until the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly people. 2Pe3:9

Revelation 2:7
He that hath ears, hear he, what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, I shall give to eat of the tree of life, that is in the paradise of my God.

“TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU”

6. What did Jesus mean when he said: “Take my yoke upon you”?

6 When Jesus said: “Take my yoke upon you,” he may have meant “Accept my authority.” He could also have meant “Get under the yoke with me, and together we will work for Jehovah.” Either way, the yoke entails work.

By what means is Jesus doing this?

7. According to Matthew 28:18-20, what work have we been given to do, and of what can we be certain?

7 We accept Jesus’ invitation when we dedicate our lives to Jehovah and get baptized. That invitation is open to all—Jesus will never reject anyone who sincerely wants to serve God. (John 6:37, 38) All of Christ’s followers have been given the privilege of sharing in the work that Jehovah has asked Jesus to do. We can be certain that Jesus will always be there to help us do that work.—Read Matthew 28:18-20.

“LEARN FROM ME”
Men, women, and children gather around Jesus and listen to him

Refresh others as Jesus did (See paragraphs 8-11) *

8-9. Why were humble people drawn to Jesus, and what questions should we ask ourselves?

8 Humble people were drawn to Jesus. (Matt. 19:13, 14; Luke 7:37, 38) Why? Consider the contrast between Jesus and the Pharisees. Those religious leaders were cold and arrogant. (Matt. 12:9-14) Jesus was warm and humble. The Pharisees were ambitious and proud of their high position in society. Jesus discouraged undue ambition, and he taught his disciples to view themselves as lowly servants. (Matt. 23:2, 6-11) The Pharisees dominated others through fear and intimidation. (John 9:13, 22) Jesus refreshed others by loving acts and kind words.

9 Have you learned these lessons from Jesus? Ask yourself: ‘Do I have a reputation for being mild-tempered and humble? Do I willingly do menial jobs to serve others? Am I kind to others?’
